Living our day to day lives is not always easy. We may question if we are living our true paths. During a session, there are many times a client will ask Spirit about her life path. I am not sure that there is only one path. I feel that, throughout our lives, we walk many paths and stand at countless crossroads. I have also come to realize that it is not only the path we walk but the love that is in our hearts that is important.
When a client questions Spirit about his path, the common answer is not to describe the exact road but instead to choose the path he can walk with love in his heart. Even if this seems to be the more challenging way, the journey will be filled with peace. If you are standing at a crossroad asking about a divorce, leaving a job, moving or any other life-changing situation, take a moment to contemplate. The path of continuation may seem much easier, yet it is filled with sadness, anger and despair. The other path may seem harder because of the fear unfamiliarity can cause, but underneath it is blanketed with peace and love.
In one of my sessions, my client asked the spirit of her father what to do about her aging mother. Should she put her in a nursing home against her wishes or find a way to care for her in the comforts of her home? The answer the father gave to her was that honoring her mother’s wishes would be wonderful only if she could care for her daily with love and acceptance of her aging body; otherwise, moving her to a nursing home would be kinder. The father explained that, if she honored her mother’s wishes but felt victimized on this path, at the end of this journey, she would only feel regret. She must choose the path that would bring her love and fulfillment but also allow her mother to be cared for with respect.
Another client asked the spirit of her grandmother if she was making the right decisions. Her grandmother showed me an image of a crossroad. On the left it was dark and rocky. On the right the beginning of the path was empty but full of fresh dirt. As I looked down this path, I could see flowers starting to grow, and in the distance I could see beautiful flowers. Her grandmother explained that the left path is a continuation of the path that she is on. If she has the courage to move to the right, she will eventually find peace, fulfillment and the beauty that is hers. My client shared with me that she was considering a divorce.
As you are standing at the crossroads of life, choose to walk the path that makes your soul shine.
